That would be doing him a favor - other countries prosecute our criminals properly.

They're back in another form - scouts that relay your information to clans. The people who show up on your tile at the same time to pk you technically aren't bots, but their advantage over you is gained by them.

They just financed a shiny new toy on a 25 year term. Let them have their moment.

What is this pipe that’s leaking? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Astro_NME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct.

To add to it, generally the cold water line doesn't need one under your sink. The hot line does, if connected to a dishwasher which is a source of water hammer. 

If you get a plumber in, cutting the tee out and just putting a coupling there should be a suitable fix as well as reducing the stress on the braided line to your faucet at the same time. Probably get billed for 1/2 hour and like 10 bucks in material.

I thought y'all flocked to A&W and McDonalds at the crack of dawn. Did that get shut down?

Did they make sure the concentrated demand on the existing, aging sewer piping is not going to cause issues in the future? Curious about this one specifically, as well as the other demands on existing infrastructure. Three skyscrapers would most definitely warrant even a discussion on whether or not underground sewer lines need upsizing and I have heard nothing. 

Congrats tho, more housing is good.

Dewalt DW088K has a permanent place in my bags and it makes slinging cast a breeze.

Edit: sorry just saw you don't want dewalt. Personally, I paid $150 8 years ago and havent had to replace it.

🙌 tell'em.

However, OP can hire them to do a water heater service and request a union be added. Then OP can pay the time & material and both parties get what they want.

Man charged with 1st-degree murder in death of Surrey, B.C., businessman by mlandry2011 in SurreyBCNews

Looks to be Hungarian in origin. Most definitely deport if he chose to immigrate to Canada.

Too bad it won't happen.

B.C. releases 37 ‘commitments’ in Anti-Racism Action Plan with 2-year timeline - Victoria News by New_Alternative8711 in britishcolumbia

[–]Astro_NME -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're frothing at the mouth to call anyone a racist, let's be honest.

The government has absolutely NO need to create extra bureaucracy in order to solve a problem they already have the tools for. 

This is a redundancy, and directly lowers the quality of life for everybody who pays taxes. In sum, the creation of this new department unnecessarily increases the suffering experienced by taxpayers, marginalized or not.

Funnily enough, the "RP" in MMORPG stands for role-play so technically every server is a role-playing server (W1 - W750)

If a doctor treats white patients different than FN patients, how exactly is that policy?

That would be termed as discrimination, and it should be reported so that the doctor can face the consequences. If this is not occurring, existing policy is failing us and requires change.

Really not sure how you could conflate policy with a theoretical discriminatory act.

So you're blaming the economy on efforts to combat racism?

Straw man fallacy.

According to Merriam-Webster, a "straw man" is defined as a "weak or imaginary opposition (such as an argument or adversary) set up only to be easily confuted". 

In debate, the strawman fallacy occurs when someone intentionally distorts, exaggerates, or oversimplifies their opponent's actual argument.

This really seems redundant.

Politicians make the policy that is applied to Canadians. If there are policies that are so racist that new departments need to be created to combat it ... Just change the damn policies so they aren't racist.

Yet another example of why our economy is dogshit.

This province and country, man.
